We've been stuck inside because of the weather. For me, it's been rain. Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain.
I've been thinking about Winter. And snow. And how snow seems to make it more 'Wintery.' Although, I imagine that if I was shoveling myself out this morning, I might just have a different opinion!
I remembered a fun little activity thanks to the creatives at Barkley, that can help pass the time when you are stuck inside.
Their Make-a-Flake Snowflake Maker is a super cool Flash activity that lets you snip here and snip there, just like you're making the traditional paper snowflake. You can preview your flake, cut some more, and when your masterpiece is ready, you can save your flake to the gallery. You can even download your flake and print it out. Fun.
Here's how it works:
1. Go to http://snowflakes.barkleyus.com/index.html and click on 'Make your own Snowflake.'
2. Your paper will be folded for you...perfect every time!
3. Using your virtual scissors, snip and clip to your heart's desire.
4. Preview your Flake. Here you'll have a chance to start over or cut some more.
5. If you're happy with your work, save it to the Gallery. You can download your own copy, or email to a friend.
So that's it...my favorite way to make snowflakes...a bit geeky, yes, but I love the undo button!
Enjoy!
